I'll be coming to San Francisco next Tuesday for TEDxSF, a spinoff of the famous TED conference. It's at the California Academy of Sciences. Mayor Gavin Newsom will launch the event. The event will be LiveStreamed - tune in around 4:00pm Pacific. I'm on a little after 4:30pm to talk about the neuroscience of willpower.

Others on the docket: cellist Zoë Keating, planetarium guru Ryan Wyatt, and many more. It's a sold out show! Check it out at www.TEDxSF.org.
